The Avid Elixir CR has been designed to fit in with SRAM's new X.9 2x10 drivetrain and is available in 3 matching colourways to give a totally cohesive appearance. The C in the name indicates that these brakes use a carbon fibre lever for additional weight savings, whilst the lever body also features tool free reach adjustment and Avid's bite point control which as you would expect allows you to adjust the bite point (within the range of lever travel) to suit individual preferences without resorting to simply moving the pads closer together at rest (which reduces clearance and increases the chance of rubbing). In addition Avid's patented 'taperbore' technology provides outstanding levels of power and modulation, whilst keeping the reservior integrated for a low profile appearance.

All Avid's disc brakes run on DOT 5.1 fluid which offers an exceptionally high boiling point (3 times higher than DOT 4) to warn of brake fade and feature a pivot point closer to the bar than any of the competition for a more natural feeling action that's closer to the natural arc of your fingers. The G3 6-Bolt rotor supplied with these brakes has been desinged to clean the pad contact surface during use to ensure dependable, smooth and quiet braking in all conditions

When Avid set out to design the best disc brakes in the world, they knew that simple stopping power wasn’t going to be enough. The best brake would also have to work in perfect harmony with the riders hand, giving precise control, and be easier to install than another product. Mission accomplished!

It is little wonder that Avid continues to be the weapon of choice for World Champions across many disciplines. Cartridge bearings, carbon fibre and patented adjustment systems ensure your safety and comfort are paramount, along with a level of finesse and finishing that simply makes the mouth drool!! Now with the expansion of the Elixir brake series, everyone can get the chance to use the best hydraulic braking system around.
